Chris Dixon just spent 2 years investing in and hyping NFTs. AI is a legitimate innovation that can do without all of the “Web3” con artists driving any aspect of it.

But what about "The next big thing will start out looking like a scam"?

I agree. Hype is a double edged sword. We've already got ourselves cut up more than a few times in ML due to it and honestly, it doesn't seem unlikely that we do far more damage. I wish people would tone it down a bit and we could oust the con artists before moving on.

In my opinion it’s legitimate to question the discretion of anyone who put their entire weight behind cryptocrappency especially NFT.

Maybe. What about questioning the discretion of anyone who uses childish terminology like "cryptocrappency" and ad hominems instead of making an actual point?

I won’t totally advocate on ignoring what someone says, because of who they are, but I’m not going to waste precious time reading their thoughts when have the choice to read someone else’s.
